Enable Hotlinking
Aug 5, 2007
I moved my website from one server to another just today and my site has a rank on another website. The ranking site lets me display my rank on my website through a hotlink to their site. When I moved my site to the new server, I can't see the image. On the old server, I could always see the image.
This is a strange issue since in Firefox, I see the image load and then it tells me the image is empty. But when I open the image's URL, I can see it just fine. I've reloaded the page over and over again, but I don't get anything. The same applies to IE.
What's even more strange is when I use a proxy, I can see the image just fine through my browser.

I am using godaddy hosting, but there is a problem - godaddy allows picture hotlinking by default. So i am loosing a lot of bandwidth.
How can i block this? I have never used .htaccess and don't know how to do it.

I have found some spammer hotlinking to my images to get his site crawled, I have modified the .htaccess to attempt and serve his hotlinking domain with a warning but it does not work...
My actual .htaccess file is the one below (it was created by wordpress automatically):
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I am adding these lines right below:
--------------------------------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+.)?spammerdomain.com/ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule .*.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]
------------------------------------
My questions...
I dont kmow too much what I am doing, following the tutorial here, http://altlab.com/htaccess_tutorial.html but the problem is that my .htacces already contains something created by wordpress that to me looks like garbage as I don't understand the meaning.
I dont know if I should add the lines inside the <IfModule mod_write.c> or outside them as I have done.
I dont know if it is ok to have two times Rewrite Engine On
PS: When I added the lines I describe above, my site also stopped displaying the images, I had stopped everyone including myself from hotlinking them. I only want to stop certain domain. or even better, my ideal solution is to WHITELIST my domain names (I have two using hotlinkg to those images), but I will settle for blacklist if it is easier.

I am looking for a content delivery network that will only serve files to a list of allowed hosts. This is such a basic "doh" feature, but nobody seems to have it (Mosso CloudFiles doesn't have it, and even Amazon S3 has no easy-to-use hotlink protection). Has anyone found such a CDN?

Is there a way to stop hotlinking? I have a client who has a blog. They have post pics of tattoos. Now there are at least 50 tattoo forums, blogs and other sites hotling to the pics. Now his bandwidth usage has skyrocketed. So enable hotlink protection in his cPanel. Just did a redirect to my main hosting site with a nice please stop hotlink image. Now I see all this in my logs. So I then made a 150 x 9000 clear BG gf with the text at the top please stop hotlinking.
My questions is there any way to stop it. If not should I just make a 1x1 clear gif to redirect to? Also is there a way to not have this traffic show in my log files?

I'm facing some issues with hotlinking here. the htaccess do not work because users can still use their download manager to download the file without going to my site.
I've seen few sites that got tempoary url that changes every X times and that support download manager.

I am a graphic designer/photographer who creates designs for music artists, producers etc. on Myspace (I know, I know). This obviously involves lots of hotlinking, and that is why I am here.
I provide customers with hosting for their layouts so that they don't have to go out and search for one. I am currently hosting the images on a friends private server, but it's fairly slow and I want something more reliable. One layout usually has around 20 different images (background, headers, banners, etc) and I try to make sure it comes out to a little under 1MB, so I don't need to worry that much about disk space. I'd say bandwidth might be the only issue if anything.
I enjoy the work but it's mostly a side business and doesn't create much revenue, so I'm trying to go for around or under $10 a month. That said, I also want to make sure things are fast enough for the visitors and am willing to up the budget if required. I was going to go with 1and1 or Hostgator but heard alot about overselling.

The images I am trying to block are on page generated by a simple PHP script on my server. The offender has replicated what I am doing with ASP on their server. They are hotlinking to my images for the resulting page. They left my website's name on them, so they must think that giving credit is enough.
I'm going to be contacting them to stop but I also want to see if there is a way for me to prevent it from happening in the first place.
I tried mod_rewrite...
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url].*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .(gif|jpg)$ - [F]
I know mod_rewrite works on my server because I've been using it for some other things.
However, whenever I enable the above code (add it to the directives and restart apache - have also tried just putting it in a .htaccess file in the appropriate directory), I end up with images still being allowed on my domain and the other domain I'm trying to stop from using my images. Do you think it could have to do with an absent referrer? I read that the code doesn't work if the referrer is blank. What else would cause this not to work? Obviously the domain would have to be correct, but it doesn't block from my domain OR the offending domain.
I tried another method:
Code:
<FilesMatch ".(gif¦jpg¦png)$">
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer ^$ allow_image
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer ^[url] allow_image
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=allow_image
</FilesMatch>
This one blocked images to the offending domain, but it also blocked mine!

I have came across site in my statistics that apperantly runs with about 99% of my content flash files. He put adsense all around them, too - sneaky.
I know it is possible to disable hotlinking from other sites using htaccess, but is it possible to disable hotlinking for ONE site? I need to block .swf that come from example.com domain.

I would like to ask whether should we use/enable the clamAV service on our VPS? I have read from several article, it said that ClamAV is pretty hungry on CPU/Memory resources.
I would like to know, do you use/enable the clamAV on your VPS? Or even don't have it installed on your VPS?
